Im excited that they are even holding a workout for him. It shows that AA is going to be ontop of every prospect and he's leaving his options open. I would love to see them sign Cahpman but i doubt the Jays can win that bidding war.

Its not like we are going to sign him anyway unless the Rogers family shells out the cash, it will be either the Mets, Red Sox, or one of the LA teams. I didn't include the Yankees because they already acquired Javier Vasquez and they want to keep out of the Luxury Tax as much as possible.

If they can get a reasonable contract out of him I do Delgado all day long as a veteran DH with some true leadership quality on a young team. Does anyone else cringe at the prospect of having Vernon Wells as the clubhouse leader of this team?

I love how in spite of the fact that Toronto is a small baseball market, and in spite of the fact that they are in the toughest division in baseball, they usually manage to put out competitive teams given the resources at their disposal.

They aren't ever great (not since '93). But if they were in the NL, they would be playoff bound almost every year. For a number of years they had the best pitching staff in baseball. This year, they lose Doc, they're shedding longterm salary, but they still manage to put out an entertaining product (for someone who enjoys baseball of course). It is fun to watch developing young talent.

In spite of some boneheaded moves by Ricciardi, the Blue Jays remains the best-run sports franchise in Toronto. Probably because it is not run by MLSE.

They likely won't ever win the Championship this way, (especially not with the Red Sox and Yankees in their division). But in MLB, that requires spending ridiculous amounts of money that the Blue Jays just don't have.

If the trend continues, anyone think the Jays follow suit ala the Expos and we lose our franchise?

An extra 134 people showed up last night! It's picking up!

Really, I think they'd have to suffer a few seasons of this before collapsing. It's still springtime and people are watching hockey and some of us are watching basketball playoffs, I think it'll pick up by June. Not much though, I think last year they usually had about 20-25k at the games.
